<strong>Aura</strong> <strong>Vale</strong> <strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Park</strong><br />
Located north of Cardinia Reservoir, <strong>Aura</strong> <strong>Vale</strong> <strong>Lake</strong> plays a very important role in<br />
Melbourne's water supply. The lake forms part of a drainage system designed to<br />
channel run-off water from neighbouring properties and roads, and stop it entering the<br />
main reservoir. This system prevents polluted water from affecting the quality of our<br />
drinking water. Over the past years <strong>Aura</strong> <strong>Vale</strong> <strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Park</strong> has become a popular<br />
venue for boating activities including sailboarding and canoeing and for other small<br />
non-powered boats.<br />
How to get there<br />
<strong>Aura</strong> <strong>Vale</strong> <strong>Lake</strong> is located next to Cardinia<br />
Reservoir, along Wellington Road (Melway<br />
126 D6).<br />
Picnic areas<br />
Comprising 67 hectares, <strong>Aura</strong> <strong>Vale</strong> <strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Park</strong><br />
has diverse settings for recreation, from highly<br />
modified and developed areas to remnant<br />
bushland.<br />
Henley Picnic Area<br />
Located on the south side of <strong>Aura</strong> <strong>Vale</strong> <strong>Lake</strong> and<br />
accessed off Wellington Road, Henley Picnic<br />
Area has toilet facilities, car parking and open<br />
lawns for picnicking or relaxing in the sun. You<br />
may bring your own gas barbeque for use in the<br />
park, no solid fuel barbeques allowed, and all<br />
barbeques are banned on a day of total fire ban.<br />
For people interested in watersports, Henley<br />
Picnic Area is the ideal location. Access to a<br />
boat launching ramp (non-motorised craft only)<br />
and areas for fishing make Henley Picnic Area a<br />
